Subject: The TUG You suggested...

On Saturday, May 10th, at 10 AM, the Technology User Group (TUG) will highlight resources for technology news and information and where to find live, human assistance.  We will focus on all aspects of tech:  getting assistance for the newly blind, technical assistance for products, resources for finding assistive technology tools, as well as examples of what assistive technology products can do and updates on what’s happening in the world of assistive technology.  In addition, TUG turns 18!  Come and learn the history of the group, and hear about some of our milestones along the way.

The presentation will begin at 10 AM and last sixty minutes.

Who should attend?

·       Assistive technology enthusiasts.

·       Caregivers and service providers for the blind in Maryland.

·       Individuals with print disabilities.

·       Newly blind patrons.
